More Light for Butte.

The Butte electric light works were WIS.,
tied by Il representative OF The MINER yes
terday and Mr.. Roos explained the safe
guards put in there lately in the shape of
lightning arresters, by which the electric
fluid is prevented from damaging the plant
during such storms as have visited this
section lately. He said that yesterday
morning they were swapping at a lively rate
while the thunder storm was in progress.
The company had under consideration the
Heisler and Westinghouse systems of in.
candescent arc light for use in houses. The
former, Mr.. Roos said, has the advantage
OF requiring the use of only one continuous
wire. which was infnitely more simple than
that formerly in use here: and among
other advantages it possessed he men.
toned greater steadiness of transmission.
1t would be comparatively cheap, too,
costing only at the rate of about FIVE dol
lars a month per light to consumers It
was only a question OF a short time before
one system or the other would be in opera
ton here,

A correspondent on yesterday advanced
through the columns of The MINER a the
DRY of the school board imbroglio, which,
while original, we hardly feel inclined to
endorse. Either the board or Professor
Newill may be considered to be in the
right. And to the end hat we would see
the right prevail over the wrong, we would
have their respective rights determined in
some satisfactory way. We would also
like to know whether a Board of Educa-
ton is to be guided ny their best Judgment,
after having been chosen by the electors
for that trust, or whether they shall be
governed by a petition of parents and pu-
pills. This is a problem not easy OF solu-
ton, we must admit; and we give it up.
Perhaps some OF our subscribers can solve
it. Our columns are open to those who
may think they can. We agree with our
correspondent that the situation is not de-
sirable on account OF the dissatisfaction
manifested on both sides of the contro-
versy.

We are under especial obligations to GU,
friends at Bozeman for their cheeeing words
and for their one hundred daily subscrip'
tions which we submit with a pardonable
pride as beating the record. No daily paper
ever before received such a subscription list
from a town of three thousand in one day.
In behalf OF The MINER we will pledge our
friends in Bozeman that it will be a neas-
paper OF which they may be proud. The
interests of Butte and Bozeman are in a
measure identical. They have a common
mission to perform, in securing more direct
connections, as vas shown in detail in
yesterdays MINER. To the accomplish
ment OF this end THE MINER will work with
the people OF the two cities until the con.
summation OF their hopes and purposes
shall come.

the crash had to come sooner or later, be-
cause the Chicago operators had set about
to corner the market and 90 manipulate
it that the San Francisco crowd would 60
down. in the wreck. In the meantime the
slope spectators were not idle. They
were cornering Liverpool and the
supply afoat. So it came to
pass that when the Chicago crowd had
covered the visible supply, the California
crowd was in control of the Liverpool and
floating stock of wheat in sight. Then
nothing was needed for the undoing of the
Chicago clique but q break in the market.
While the California crowd were waiting for
the Chicago clique to make a break that
would crush them, the break in the coffee
market created a stampede in the specula-
tive market and the collapse came all along
the line. Out OF all this chaos of marginal
manipulation and disastrous results of the
speculative mania, ome no regretful tears
from the consumer classes of the country
who may well profit by the result.

The speculative pathway through the
wheat pits are strewn with wrecks. Ker-
shaw & Co., Of Chicago, are conspicuous
among the firms that went down in the
maelstrom. And it is claimed that they
had a million dollars in the bank at the
time OF their suspension. This whole ruin
was wrought by an attachment of the
firms bank account, thus tying them up,
they say. But it seems singular that it
didn't occur to the firm to pay the sum
attached for and thus make the balance
available to meeting the requirements OF
the margins against them which came
through the twenty cent tumble in the
wheat with which they were overloaded.
However, nobody but the bulls will suffer,
and they should be able to stand it. Their
Gains are ill-gotten, and nobody need sym
pathize with them in their losses.

Michael Sulliyan's Funeral.

The funeral of Michael Sullivan yester-
day was perhaps the most impressive dem.
onstration Of sympathy that has been
seen in Butte for a long time. There were
in line by actual count n hundred and
four convey including the hearse. and
a conveyance could hardly be hired while
the cortege was vending it's way to the
cemetery. The route was to the cathedral
and from thence to the graveyard. During
the progress of the funeral a heavy rain
storm came up which hurried the mourners
home, and many were caught in the storm.

For once in the history Of the Chicago
wheat clique it has been worsted in corner.
ing the market. As a result there was a
great panic there on yesterday, and that
speculative cereal took a tumble to itself
OF twenty per cent. No. such exciting
event has occurred on the market since the
McGeogh- Everingham and Wells crash of
two years ago, which resulted in long liti.
CATION and a bitter emeute between a trium-
verate Of wicked partness. The late crash
was long pending, and was evidently pre-
cipitated by the collapse in the speculative
coffee market, which shook the confidence
OF the market in all marginal deals. But

An Accident.

Mr.. James Nelson, who resides in Saw
mill Gulch, and who is one of the heaviest
charcoal and wood dealers OF Elk Park,
met with a serious accident day before yes
terday. While banking wood down the
steep mountain side with. an intractable
team of wild colts. which Mr.. Nelson was
training, they a away. Mr.. Nelson,
with great presence OF mind, succeeded in
stopping the animals. but not before he
had been thrown from the vehicle, whereby
his left limb was fractured, which is being
treated by a prominent physician in the
city. The probability is that his recovery
will require about four weeks. Mr.. Nelson
is one OF the most prominent citizens of
Jefferson County. and his friends exceed
ingly regret that this accident should have
occurred to him.

In Judge DingeyOn's Court.

The case of Territory VS.. Kornberg, in
Judge Dingevon's court yesterday, resulted
in the acquittal of the defendant of the
charge against him. Mcbride & Haldorn
prosecuted and Judge Knowles defended
the case. The evidence hinged on the ma
tpre of a transfer by the defendant of the
interest of the firm of A. E. Fritsch & Co.
to Messrs. Schmidt & Gamer by bill of Gale,
subject to attachments. The prosecution
maintained it was done to prefer certain
creditors over Others. but the. good faith OF
the transaction was proved in the object
to secure $500 of Indebtedness on a note
which Schmidt & Gamer had pledged the
firms name as security for it's payment.

BUTTE AND BOZEMAN.

The latest developments are that the
Bo1eman & Butte Shortline scheme is des'
tined to be a success. We now know the
men of both Of these cities who are inter.
ested in the project. When such men as A.
J. Davis. w. A. Clarke. Samuel Word,
Judge Knowles and other leading men OF
Butte and Helena; Nelson Story, Wal.
ter Cooper, Lester Wilson, J. E. Martin
and others OF Bozeman, and VIM. Morris,
Henry Filing and David McCranor, OF Vir.
ginia City, take hold OF an enter
prise with their vast capital and
unlimited credit, it is bound
to be a success. They are a class of citi-
zens who never falter in their undertakings
individually or collectively. They are all
known not only throughout the territory
but abroad as successful business men.
Those who have been disposed to sneer at
the probability of this project will find
that they are ~willfully deceiving themselves.
The geographical position of the cities of
Butte and Bozeman has always favored a
natural alliance between them. And the
fact that the one is tributary to the
greatest mineral belt in Montana
and the other to the richest
agricultural valley in the territory, is
one that argues that they should be strong
allies, offensive and defensive. Destiny has
marked them for a future which shall
bring them into absolutely harmonious re-
lations. Butte wants it's share OF the agri-
cultural products of the Gallatin Valley,
and Bozeman desires a closer trade rela-
ton with Butte, which car only be had by
more direct railroad connection. Butte
also wants the coke and coal of the Belt
range and the Rocky Forks mines by closer
connections than these products can
can be secured by the way OF the lorg raul
via Mullan tunnel and Garrison with the
uncertain arrangements now in force be-
tween the Northern Pacific and Montana
Union.
As showing the close relations existing
between Bozeman and Butte, and the iden-
tity of their business relations, we may be
pardoned for citing the following cores
pondence, which explains itself:
